- Based upon Nehemiah 13:1-2, to “this point” was the “exile community” populated by those who were not “purely” of Jewish descent?
- And, if so, what was the course of action that was taken?
- According to Nehemiah 13:6, was Nehemiah always in Jerusalem or did he, on occasion, return to Babylon?
- What was the “outrage perpetrated by Eliashab” — and how did Nehemiah relate to it?
- Based upon Nehemiah 13:10-11, were the arrangements effected at an earlier point “religiously” followed through in the temple?
- Would the interpolation in Nehemiah 13:14 be that of Nehemiah?
- According to Nehemiah 13:15-16 what was going on the Sabbath — and in Jerusalem?
- To whom did Nehemiah turn for a corrective?
- What action was taken in order to be sure that there would be no “commerce” in Jerusalem on the Sabbath (Nehemiah 13:19–22)?
- The action taken by Nehemiah towards the peoople who are intermarried is described in Nehemiah 13:23-28. Did it include expulsion?
- Do we find any other reference to the “sin” of King Solomon other than in Nehemiah 13:26?
- Would the conclusion of the volume seem to indicate that: all is well with the returned exiles, all is well with the Kohanim/temple, “to be continued,” and/or all three?
